FK Crvena Zvezda defender Marjan Markovic will be out for over a month with a broken collarbone.
Unfortunate collision
The Serbo-Montenegrin Under-21 international was injured during a Serbo-Montenegrin Cup quarter-final match this week, when he collided with FK Železnik's Nikola Jozic in the 40th minute of a 1-0 win.
'It hurts'
"It hurts a lot and I will have to rest for a long time," said Markovic. "According to the initial tests, it will be at least a month before I can start up training, but I will know more in two weeks. This is my first big injury but I will be fit for the [UEFA] European Under-21 Championship at the end of May."
